I Won't Stay

Original and similar lyrics

If i go home
And come back another day
Tell me i won't miss you much
Tell me i won't
And i won't stay
Tell me i won't miss you much
And i won't stay
And i saw danger
When i went to look the other way
Didn't think i'd miss you much
Didn't think i'd feel,
But i got my cats and my carpets
And my fish in my brain
I got the walls around me
They never change
I got my cats and my carpets
And the walls around me
And the walls around me
Well hello again
You're another hour late
You didn't think i'd notice
You didn't think, I know you never think
You didn't think i'd notice
Oh you never think
But i got my cats and my carpets
And my fish in my brain
I got the walls around me
They never change
I got my cats and my carpets
And the walls around me
And the walls around me
If i go home and come back another day
Tell me i won't miss you much
Tell me
And i won't stay
But i got my cats and my carpets
And my fish in my brain
I got the walls around me
They never change
I got my cats and my carpets
And the walls around me
And the walls around me
And the walls around me

Depression in the state of Georgia
Blowin’ up like a hot can of soda
I told ya, they were bout to change the game
A new thing, hick hop is the name, that’s right
I grew up in a small town
Used to play baseball til the sun went down
Yeah, we’d play in the front yard
And some fly balls were known to hit cars
That’s when we’d run in the woods
And play dumb, but then we felt like crooks
Yeah we knew what to do, we had to confess
Man it waddn’t me, it was you
I can laugh about it now, and think back
There ain’t nothing that I did I would take back
Ten years in the past, went by fast
And now I drink shine from a flask
We just some redneck dirt road riders come on
We do some country with a little hip hop in a song
We like to hunt and fish and do what we can to stay free
(We like to hunt and fish and do what we can to stay free)
There’s cow pastures and trees as far as I can see
(As far as I can see)
(As far as I can see)
All grown up I gotta hold my own
Twenty eight more years til I own my home
I don’t own the throne, that be my wife
And I say these things just to keep it right
Things change when you grow up
Every day you gotta show up
Had a bad day that’s tough luck
Ain’t nobody gonna dry your tears
Those days are gone, they got lost in the years
Be a man and get up when you fall
And stand tall, that’s what I was taught
I try to keep a good head on my shoulders
I feel good things gettin’ closer
Friday I just got off work
Make a couple phone calls and I change my shirt
Cornbread said a party at his house
Bonfire in the back yard and I’m out
We just some redneck dirt road riders come on
We do some country with a little hip hop in a song.
We like to hunt and fish and do what we can to stay free
(We like to hunt and fish and do what we can to stay free)
There’s cow pastures and trees as far as I can see
(As far as I can see)
(As far as I can see)
We just some redneck dirt road riders come on
(Haha, yeah, y’all know what we talkin’ bout. Hey!)
We do some country with a little hip hop in a song
(Come on come on)
(Come on come on, here we go)
We like to hunt and fish and do what we can to stay free
(We like to hunt and fish and do what we can to stay free)
There’s cow pastures and trees as far as I can see
(As far as I can see)
(As far as I can see)

Remembering back on your life
At a time things were different then
wasn't sure what time would bring
But you knew it couldn't be the same
The feelings you had, the power they held
Knew deep down inside no matter how you tried.
It just wouldn't last, the magic would die
You hoped it wouldn't happen, didn't want it to go away
Prayed it wouldn't happen, didn't want it to go away
Like everything else their memory begins to fade
So much time has gone away so many things had to change
Now what are you gonna do
Sit around and mope or get off your ass
Stop feeling sorry for yourself
you know you want it back but theres nothing you can do
You've got to stop living in the past
And go on with the rest of your life
It's just fact of life
You've gotta accept the fact
That things aren't going to have to stay the same
And you're not the only one in hoping they would stay
Why can't you put as much power of your feelings
Into something useful to make an effort
To overcome and make a new life for yourself
Just because things aren't the same
Doesn't mean they can't be as good or even better
Rise above the change don't let it keep holding you back forever
Once you see you can fully control your fate
Then you'll know that you should just do the best you can
And you'll find out that that it's not so bad
At least you'll know that you gave it your best shot

Oh, the age of the inmates
I remember quite freely:
No younger than twelve,
No older 'n seventeen.
Thrown in like bandits
And cast off like criminals,
Inside the walls,
The walls of Red Wing.
From the dirty old mess hall
You march to the brick wall,
Too weary to talk
And too tired to sing.
Oh, it's all afternoon
You remember your home town,
Inside the walls,
The walls of Red Wing.
Oh, the gates are cast iron
And the walls are barbed wire.
Stay far from the fence
With the 'lectricity sting.
And it's keep down your head
And stay in your number,
Inside the walls,
The walls of Red Wing.
Oh, it's fare thee well
To the deep hollow dungeon,
Farewell to the boardwalk
That takes you to the screen.
And farewell to the minutes
They threaten you with it,
Inside the walls,
The walls of Red Wing.

(This is like a wicked passion)
The way some cashier get they cash
Fuck around have a gun in yo face
Tied up and they whoopin' yo ass
Man most cats man they don't play cause they moms get high
I can still recall the day I saw a gangsta cry
Man under the hot sun
Young cats they buck with hot guns fat ones
Man if you sellin' this
You better know the consequence shit
Walk just like army ants
Yeah man let me borrow that
Please homeboy don't be no snitch
You put this business before that fine bitch
Here go a classic tale
A motherfucker just got outta jail
Slipped up on some major mail
Then went back to jail on major bail yo
Yo most cats man they don't play cause they moms get high
I can still recall the day I saw a gangsta cry
Don't be no perpetrator
Fuck around and be on a respirator
Going up to heaven on an escalator
Cause they sent you to hell on an elevator yo
You're right in front of the corner stores with the.45 slug
Some might say it's unity but there ain't no love
Crack a smile like a beer bottle
Don't worry 'bout the bullet cause it feel hollow
Keep your foot on the gas throttle
These motherfuckers ain't no rolemodels
Blow yo mind with an evil disguise
Wickin' this nigga right in front of yo eyes
Where he got shot that's where he lies
Layin' there dead with open eyes
Blow you over on a street corner
It's all about that B-Soda
Breakin' arms and shoulders cause this drama's thick as quotas
They bust at you and you bust back
They just like a whip you go snap back
How they gunna fuck with you fuck that
Kill them all so they don't come back
Mind state
Crime rate
Hell waits for jail baits
Man if you make a mistake don't even wait
But mothafucka get up outa my face
It's a dirty loss for a dirty game
So mothafucka it's a dirty shame
I saw a gangsta cry
I saw a gangsta cry
I saw a gangsta cry
I saw a gangsta cry
It was a trip when I first saw a gangsta cry
Didn't know, didn't ask, didn't wonder why
It was a trip when I first saw a gangsta cry
Didn't know, didn't ask didn't wonder why
Indestructable, fuck with a nigga
Grow so slow, ten years seven digits
Make a bill with Baxter a broadcasta
A painy thang to fake homies laughter?

He wakes up to the alarm clock it's goin off hits the snooze for ten more minutes he dozes off
but it's time to get up, get a shower go to work, get no respect again his boss is a jerk
and deep inside it lerks, the pain and the hurt, he wants a change but he wears the same shirt
again for 6 years he struggles with the fear of changing what he knows to fight off the tears
but it's a new day, he wonders what it would take to have new dreams and to own new things
it's a small price to pay, to get up and leave than to stay here, and continue to bleed
so he hops in his car, off to work he goes the choice that was made, only he knows
he starts to smile as he hits the gas cause hes got a new plan and a new task
Gonna keep ridin on
he's gonna ride off into the sunset
he's got some things that he aint done yet
cause he needs something different in his life
cause some things are just not right
She's sick and tired of everything he's done, said he's working late but he's out havin fun
messin around gettin phone numbers on the side, got 2 phones but only 1 that he hides
thinks he's bein slick, thinks she don't know, but she found out about a week ago
know the whole deal, knows what he's doin, knows she's not the only chic that he's screwin
so she knows now, it's a new day, she's got to leave and knows she can't stay
small price to pay, to get up and leave than to stay here and continue to bleed
so she hops in her car and off she goes, where to now she really don't know
but she starts to smile as she hits the gas cause she's got a new plan and a new task
Gonna keep ridin on
she's gonna ride off into the sunset
she's got some things that she aint done yet
she needs something different in her life
cause some things are just not right
Sometimes we all just need a change and things in life need rearranged
it's time to get over the shame of changing what if left to claim
sometimes we're all stuck in the rain, it'll stay the same if you remain
it's up to you to make a change in you don't ride on your left to blame
and now it's time, to make a stand, replace your life with a brand new plan
so take your life and change it's course if you feel like, you can't take it anymore
